If you went as far as getting to know this film even exists then i think it is safe to assume that you will enjoy it to some extent. It is, as one would imagine, quite bad. The acting is really god awful, the two main girls are really really bad, and have little charisma. The writing is pretty nothing, even if at times it can be funny. The photography is occasionally interesting, but for the most part it is quite standard home video level. The soundtrack can range from really nice to decent. What makes this one enjoyable though is knowing that it had such a close relationship with the LA punk scene at its arguable downfall. So when i looked at the girl gang that got into a fight with the love dolls i saw them as ACTUAL local punk kids and that by itself was entertaining to me as i've been listening to those bands since i was 10 or so but never had any kind of connection to this era. So to sum it all up. The film is kind of boring but to me it was nice just to see the general vibe of the LA punk kids in 84 also i would like to point that the choice for Steve McDonald for the glam looking rich corporate dude was really funny for me.
